Description
These 2-ingredient Nutella Cookie Cups are a simple and delicious treat made by baking ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough in mini muffin pans and then filling the cooled cookie cups with creamy Nutella. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack that combines the warmth of freshly baked cookies with the rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor of Nutella.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package (24 count) ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookie dough (or any flavor)
- 1 ½ cups Nutella (or any dessert spread)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray mini muffin pans with nonstick baking spray that contains flour, or grease and flour the pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Bake cookie dough: Place one ball of cookie dough into each muffin pan cavity. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the cookies are fully baked and lightly golden on the edges.
- Form cookie cups: Let the cookies cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, gently press the center of each cookie with the back of a wooden spoon handle or the rounded end of a ½ teaspoon to create a cup shape.
- Cool and remove: Allow the cookie cups to cool completely before removing them from the pan. Carefully loosen the edges with a butter knife and gently pop the cookie cups out to keep their shape intact.
- Fill with Nutella: Spoon about ¾ tablespoon of Nutella into each cooled cookie cup. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Make sure to grease and flour the muffin pans well, or use a nonstick spray with flour to prevent cookies from sticking.
- Do not try to remove the cookie cups while warm, as they will be fragile and likely to break.
- You can substitute Nutella with other dessert spreads like peanut butter, caramel, or cookie butter for different flavors.
- If you want to add extra texture, consider topping the Nutella with chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips.
- Freezing the filled cookie cups in an airtight container can help preserve freshness for longer storage.
